Personally, I wanted to do the same kind of stuff (upload large files over ftp) and end up writing a java application. For handling large files, php is not really the best way.

try doing it this way.

create .htaccess file in your root directory and add the following.

php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value post_max_size 50M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200
